Addie and I will forever miss Uncle Jackie. He was one of a kind and a jack of all trades. We loved stopping in to see him usually once every summer when we came down that way. We loved hearing some of his old stories about growing up. I know he loved living on King’s Lake and was at peace there with his buddy Gator! Peace out to you Uncle Jackie, you are loved!!

Daddy I love you so much and will miss you forever. Its only been 6 days and I cant imagine having to be without you. I always knew you had my back no matter what happen. My life will be so empty without you. I am and have always been a Daddy’s girl and that will never change. My heart hurts so bad today I just want to see you and talk to you one more time. See you in Heaven one day … love you Daddy !!
